TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
Some of the Manifestations in Decapitates
Heads.

Some ofthe Manifestations in DecaPitated
Heads.
Popular Science Monthly.
In a recent meeting of the Paris Acad-
envy of Sciences NJ. Hayem, Professor i'm
the Medical School, read a paper on the
effects of blood TRANSMISSION in the head
of recently decapitated animals. which
showed that if before the heads blood
supply is insured by the establishment
of a communication with the arterial
system of a living dog r. horse, the
heads death Is very slow one. If
TRANSMISSION is practiced some moments
after the head has become entirely inert
that is, some minutes after decapita-
sion-the results are the following
Some muscles, especially in the lips, be-
gun to twitch slightly; then the respira-
tory efforts set IN; after that the eye re-
cuperates its reflex sensibilIty, first in a
feeble manner, and the reflex is only
unilateral, then in a marked manner it
becomes bilateral- But the eyelids
main dropping, the head has a general
appearance of drowsiness, and there is
no appearance at all of any voluntary
movement. This apparent return to a
state of unconscious life takes, OF
course, more time when the trans
fusion is made at a late stage; when
made six minutes after the cessation of
all movements, it requires four minutes
to bring the phenomena back again.
These experiments show once more that
death by decapitation, although very
rapid is not sudden; consciousness per-
sists during a short time, and sensation
is not thoroughly impaired; thought
must be possible. However short this
period may be, it may be long one to
suffer, and the number of ideas and SEN
sations during those few seconds may be
very considerable

For the Comfy.

BY slight modification of his original
plan, President White finds that drive
way in connection with the new bridge
spanning the st. Johns would not cost
over five thousand dollars. Such con-
nection between the portions of the
county separated by the river would be
in every way desirable. 1t will increase
speedy settlement of the vacant lands
east of us. 1t viii provide safe and
speedy communication with the city for
a large area of country, and will prove
benefit to the whole county. 1t is as
much a matter of public concern as the
bridging of a small creek i'm the pine
woods, and is of far greater monetary
Importance. 1t will connect two of our
county roads and prove n permanent
benefit.
Therefore we urge i'm the interest of
the whole County that the Board of
Commissioners take the matter in hand
and perfect the arrangement contem-
plated by the Governors of the Palatka
Board of Trade i'm a conference with Mr.
White on yesterday. The matter is as
much one of public concern as the build
ing of a courthouse and of far more i'm
mediate Importance. II our County
Commissioners are men of broad views
and enlightened thought they will easily
realize that this matter is one of simple
Justice to the city which pays a large
proportion of the taxes and asks only
cheap connection with the surrounding
country naturally tributary to it. 1t is
simply the opening of a public road be-
tween two sections of the County.

The CITY and the Roads.

Many Palatkans who go North this
summer will be surprised to find that
people still linger ON the sites of Savan-
nah, Charleston, Washington and Balti-
more. For we have been so often told
of late that ruin must ensue when
through train passed by city, that
when we find freight in bulk and even
passengers without change pass through
New York we expect to find Broadway
sowed with salt or otherwise devoted to
agriculture. Is it not true that we rush
through cities without delay and fail to
to scatter panic in our rapid transit :?
Wherefore then should we organize a
body of regulators to stop the trains?
When shall we have another Quaker
meeting to pass resolutions i'm awful 81
lence that man may do what he pleases
with his own? And at the next meet
ing it may possibly be determined what
we are prepaid to do towards paying for
the passageway we want along the
bridge. We have already been told that
what we pay for we can get, and since
we have been accorded this glorious
privilege, we may well believe hereafter
that corporations are possessed of souls.
But 1t may be as well to reflect that
even if we are satisfied to take our past
existence from the hand of charity it
might be bad policy to expect bread in
the future from the same source. We
may as well satisfy ourselves that not
even railroad can kill a live city by
running through trains-it may bury a
dead one. If our business men can sup
ply the needs of the people along the
route, no road will give us the ''go by"
The road is owned by a corporation or
ganized to make money, and the SER
wants of the stockholders dare not do
much worse than manage their property
so as to allow of successful competition
by wagon trains.
Our people may also learn, soon as
well as late, that corporation is not
usually organized in Boston for the pur-
pose Of dispensing charity in Florida. If
road can carry Through freight" it
will doit-it will also put off freight at
Palatka when it is shipped to us. AS
long as the laws now regulating COM
merce remain unchanged we can s.get
what we pay for" And we need expect
little favor or consideration from those
who are allowed to kick us. When the
road pinched the private interests of GER
tain parties we heard a fearful howl
about crossings and right of way
now the same voice roars as .'mildly as a
sucking dove" when only public inter
ests are threatened! This may be wis
dom taught by experience, but it is
scarcely decency.
Would it be wise to spend ten thous-
sand dollars on a driveway by the side
of which trains might rush at any time?
Could not the same sum be better used
in other directions? Had we not better
use our strength and energy in helping
ourselves than in begging charity? Jack
sonviiie won consideration by demanding
her rights-there was a time when goods
loaded at Palatka by schooner could save
freight to Ocala by being returned to
jacksonville and making a new begin
nmg-the same management is still in
power. Need we expect especial favors for
Paiatka' when these things are true?
Let us help ourselves, demand our rights
and beg for nothing.

work = Re nose.

At the last meeting of the Board of
Trade the reports of the several commit
tees formed q most attractive feature
and much information was elected new
to us both in form and substance. Many
were surprised to find Palatka more en-
terprising and capable Of greater efforts
than she had been credited with in the
DAYS when organized or sustained work
for a common purpose was impossible
The time appointed for the next meet
ing is drawing near and there will be
fuller evidence Of work done and still
better promise Of what may be expected
i'm the future. The reports of the com
mittees on Immigration, Transportation,
Trade and Commerce and of that on Ed
ucation will be especially interesting.
There will be much instruction embOd-
led in the report of the gentlemen who
have been looking after the subjects of
public improvements and statistics
which we would like every citizen of
the county to appreciate. The Board
has under consideration many subjects
of importance affecting the future well
fare of Palatka and the surrounding
country, and everyone interested in this
section should lend to that body its sub
stantial support. Let all join, or at
least attend its meetings, make sugges-
tons and aid in the plans for the public
good now under contemplation.
This body has only been organized for
two months, yet its work has been far
reaching, readily recognized elsewhere
and of great public benefit. Concert of
action is now possible and an impetus
from central force can always be APP
piled to any plan affecting the commu-
nifty. Enquiries from abroad can be an
swered i'm an authoritative manner the
voice of the business interests of the
city has been given a local habitatiOn
as well as a sound of no uncertain mean
ing, and visitors have a source Of infor-
nation and place of reception limited
by the intrusion of no separate individ-
ual selfish feeling or narrow views. Our
neighbors will be given all the advan-
tages we have secured for ourselves and
will always find cordial welcome
awaiting them. Much of the results at
tanned or hoped for affect other towns in
Florida as well as that of Palatka.

A curious case of race deterioration has
been furnished by Mr.. j. ID. Cation. Ten
years ago a number of wild turkeys were
sent by him from Ottawa to Santa Cruz
Island, located in the Pacific, some twenty
miles from the American coast. Late
descendants from these birds are found
to grow only one-third as large as their
ancestors-the largest cock hardly weigh
ing six pounds. This remarkable diminu-
ton in size is believed to have resulted
solely from inbreeding, or too close
relationship of parents. - Arkansaw

BANDITS ROB A RECTOR.


His valuables.
New York Star.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22.-Rev. DIR. w.
N. McVickar. rector of Holy Trinity
Protestant Episcopal Church, and two
ladies' who are in his party. were robbed
by bandits near Rome, Italy, two weeks
ago. DIR. McVickar, accompanied by
Miss Vickar, his sister, and Miss May
Coles, a prominent and wealthy lady
of Philadelphia, had gone a short dis
lance from Rome to see an ancient and
beautiful church which had been partly
restored. They were quietly enjoying
the beauty of the spot and waiting for
the sunset, when they were suddenly
set upon by four armed men, who in
sisted that they should deliver up all the
valuables in their possession.
As DIR. McNickar is six feet two or
three inches in height and broad in pro-
portion, and comes from Scotch-Irish
stock, it is probable that he demonstrated
vigorously If he had any chance. Miss
McVickar is quite rs large, and those
who know her think she could manage
two ordinary men, Miss Coles also has
some strong masculine qualities. There
was a tussle. some or all the valuables of
the party were taken and the brigands
escaped. DIR. Mcvickar had his pockets
turned inside out and is minus . gold re-
peater.
